New Friends

Merrick and I had a double date with Natalie and Stew from the UK.  We met them at Merrick's old apartment and he has kept in touch with them since i've been gone.  They are bouncing from one cool place to the next to live and travel.  They have been here for about 3 months now and are both working to save money to head to their next destination, Bali!!  So, these are friends we will have for about another month.


She and I have both been craving female companionship.  So, when we got together we were talking all girly stuff. It felt really good to actually talk to someone face to face about things Merrick would never care about!  We were comparing prices, talking about the Kardashians, places we should go shop together here, wanting to hold a Koala, and of course Geordie Shore (UK's Jersey Shore)!

Merrick has a male crush on Stew and tells him all the time he should be a model. They are complete opposites and it is hilarious to see how well they get along! They feed off each other and its very funny to watch. We struggle to understand each others accents some times, but it's cool to compare our cultures.

So, for our date with new friends, we did it simple. We ended up  eating some finger food, grilling out, drinking some wine, and playing card games.  It was funny when I started to play dress up with Natalie in my Braves gear.  I pulled my camera out and snapped this gem! We finished the night just hanging out and they spent the night to be on the safe side!

We had a great time and will be meeting up with them soon!
